One month since the quake

One month since the quake,

However many aftershocks still have been jolting Japan.
We welcome flowering of Sakura, having no resentments against the merciless circle of the seasons.

The poem that follows is one of the most famous in the Japanese canon.(in the Heian period)
"Is not the moon--
or the spring,
the spring of the past?
Alone I remain
my selfsame self."

Must I say I feel the same way?
